rewards

Those blessed
have passed
the test,
amassed

not gold
but grace
and hold
a place

within
His sphere;
no sin
or fear.

All’s well,
no Hell.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Marry Christmas

Noël
they sang;
no hell?
gosh dang

Christmas
is worth
the fuss
comes forth

though cold
outside
the fold,
abide

right here
my dear

My dear
old friend
I fear
the end

is close
for those
verbose
have chose

to end
their time
and wend
sublime

elsewhere.
I care!

Home, Dusty Home

I care
no more
to square
the floor.

Just let
it bleed
beset
with greed.

Expand
the walls;
this land
appalls

because
of fuzz.

inches

Fuzz off
the chin?
We scoff
and then

we shave
our face
to save
a place

within
our homes
or den.
Like gnomes,

reward’s
in yards.

nature hates your…

In yards
we heap
small shards
which keep

our tools
in use.
We’re fools!
Abuse

returns
each year
and spurns
our fear

and pall
of Fall.

daylight savings

Of all
the things
that Fall
now brings

it’s less
daylight.
I guess
I might

use what
I’ve saved
for plot
I paved

for pool
when cool.

Pooled Resources

When cool
I won't
need pool;
I don't

think you
would build;
you'd blue
once filled.

You've paved
your ground?
Will waves
abound?

In sun
it's fun.

winter eyes

It is fun
to go play
in the sun
but today

it’s to cold
and the snow
will enfold
head to toe

any fool.
Those who think
it’s just cool
should not drink.

Fun denied,
I’m inside.

No Work, No Play

I’m inside
though it's warm.
Please don't chide;
there's no harm.

What's it to
you that I
am so blue,
no mayfly?

Outside's work
I should do,
but I shirk
rendezvous.

Go away;
I won't play

Still Hope

“I won’t play”,
they all said
so today
we look dead

but in time
more arrive
adding rhyme
and will strive

to critique
what we write.
It looks bleak
but we might

stay alive
and survive.
